Trivia: The first "Scream" movie directed by franchise creator Kevin Williamson, who wrote the first, second and fourth films, and was involved in a producing capacity on the other three films. It is also only Williamson's second film as a director, with his first being 1999's dark comedy "Teaching Mrs. Tingle." Ironically, Williamson directing "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" is the main reason he wasn't able to write the script for "Scream 3."
Suggested correction: The first Scream movie was directed by Wes Craven.
Nobody is disputing that. The trivia is 100% correct, though - "Scream 7" is the first "Scream" movie directed by Kevin Williamson. I'm assuming you're trying to correct it because there was a typo and you misunderstood (I accidentally typed the word "was" in the first sentence when I was writing it), but I just went ahead and fixed the typo.
Trivia: With this film, Courteney Cox ("Gale Weathers") and Roger L. Jackson (voice of "Ghostface") will be the only actors to appear in all seven "Scream" films, as Neve Campbell did not appear in "Scream VI" due to a pay dispute.
Trivia: Originally, Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega were meant to return, with filmmaker Christopher Landon taking over as director. Barrera was controversially fired after comments she made about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, with many finding her firing unjust. Ortega then dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with her show "Wednesday." Finally, Landon left, citing the drama behind the scenes. The movie was then completely retooled with a new plot and a bigger focus on legacy characters.
Trivia: The character Mark Kincaid was originally meant to return and appear as Sidney Prescott's husband. However, actor Patrick Dempsey was forced to bow out due to scheduling conflicts, which were further exacerbated by recovery from the California wildfires eating into his remaining free time. Instead, Sidney's husband "Mark" was rewritten into an original character named "Mark Evans," as played by Joel McHale.
